Editing Caddie (CAD system) (section)

== Functionality ==
Caddie Professional and Caddie Educational contain the following applications:

Caddie - the main drawing application with tools for creation and editing of common entities such as lines, arcs, construction lines, splines, ellipses, images, blocks, ole objects<ref>[[Object Linking and Embedding]]</ref> etc.

AEC - the smart tools for creation and editing of 2D and 3D Architectural, Engineering And Construction intelligent objects such as walls, windows, doors, openings, slabs, roofs, trusses etc. These intelligent objects have different representations depending on the view.

DTM - the digital terrain modelling tools for creation of [[Triangular irregular network|TIN]] models from points or [[Contour line|contours]]. The application includes tools for creation and manipulation of live long and cross sections as well as [[cut and fill]] volumes for site development.

Arch applications - country specific applications with additional tools for the creation and editing of Architectural objects, relating to specific regions. For example, the SA Arch module contains tools for doing live SANS 204 Energy efficiency calculations<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sabs.co.za/webstore/SetaPDF/Demos/Encryptor/genpreview.php?stdsid=1400025022&pid=12487|title = Sabs - Thank You}}</ref> now required when submitting building plans in South Africa.

3D - tools for the creation and manipulation of general purpose 3D primitives. In addition this module has many of the tools required for controlling different 3D views and user coordinate systems.

Mech - automated tools for the creation of commonly drawn mechanical objects such as nuts and bolts, machining and geometrical tolerancing symbols, steel beams and angles, gears, sheet metal developments and welding symbols. The 3D application is where the tools for the optional Vio photo realistic rendering add-on will be found as well as export tools to [[PovRay]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.povray.org/|title=POV-Ray - The Persistence of Vision Raytracer|website=www.povray.org}}</ref>

Survey - an array of tools developed specifically for working with complex [[Construction surveying|construction surveys]], unusually equally applicable to southern and northern hemispheres. It includes functionality for spot heights, [[Polar coordinate system|polar coordinates]], coordinate joins, [[Track transition curve|transition curves]], [[Interpolation|height interpolation]], [[helmert transformation]]s, as well as full [[GPS]] integration using multiple different [[coordinate system]]s.

Civil - tools for the creation of common symbols used on GA drawings, long sections, turning circles pipe layouts etc. as well as tools for sewer, stormwater and electrical layouts.

Steel - tools for standard [[British Standards|BS]] steel sections, bracing, angles and beams. Automatic creation of handrails, catladders, steel stairs, fences and steel trusses including input of data from [[Prokon]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.prokon.com/structural/introduction-to-prokon-structural-analysis-and-design |title=PROKON Structural Analysis and Design |access-date=2012-04-17 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120505061030/http://prokon.com/structural/introduction-to-prokon-structural-analysis-and-design |archive-date=2012-05-05 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
